Probably follow by a huge snow storm the end of March or first part of April. After all, this is NYS - Mother Nature at her most unpredictable self.

My MIL bought me 1/2 dozen hyacinths (one of my fave flowers)the year before she passed away and I only see one coming up this year $\:\($ Lilacs are fully budded & my two new (blue) President Abe Lincoln lilacs that I just planted last year also have buds on them.

It's either, to non-ancient Romans. And after all, how often do we talk of the stadia of the NFL, FI? "Croci" does save 4 strokes, though. The thing I like best about Latin, though, is that nobody complains about your accent, because the accent is even deader than the language..

teedoff27 teedoff27 Senior Member Registered: 10/11/11 Posts: 1676 Loc: S2Hphoto	Not covered in snow.... but a little droopy right now.... currently 27 degrees. I hope these cold nights ruin my lilac bush the leaves have already sprouted As far as the Lilac Fest being moved up....regardless if they move it or not it will rain almost the entire 10 days like it does ever year $\:\/$ That is why when we had our Kettle Korn business we never worked it....too much of a risk considering it was $5,000 plus a percentage of profits for a spot. Not to mention I would of had to use most of my vacation time just to work 12hour days 10 days straight to work the festival. P.S. They say 60 on Saturday and 69 Easter Sunday $\:\)$ _________________________ Spiritual people INSPIRE me Religious people FRIGHTEN me

SilverFox SilverFox Senior Member Registered: 11/19/00 Posts: 6232 Loc: Waterloo	The new hydrangea plants I put in last summer had just started to come to life and the weather changed. I covered them with large plastic flower pots until Mother Nature gets over her temper tantrum. Really think she needs some anger management or a an attitude adjustment. Pretty rotten to let all the plants and fruit trees start up and them turn cold on them. There is an ornamental tree down the road from me that was in full bloom and now all the blooms are brown on it. Hope the tree doesn't die from the shock. _________________________ Don't blame me.
